was her tool in the bnsiness), and
charged them both with a plot TO

The madam then told Winnie of

AMI anted to go his way unquestioned,
but Wall street curiosity is not so readily
to be waved aside, and the broker in the
end elected the tale that he had de-
manded.
1t was a rather strange story, and it
was sad enough to make that broker
open his purse.
The poor disconsolate old fellow was
Southe ner. He was in the prime of
life, a husband and father, when the
Rebelli broke out, and he, in devotion
to his State, marched into the field for
the Confederacy.
Before the war was over he lay in
prison. and afterward was in hospital
Tor months at death door.
The fortunes of war had shut off COM
munication with home; the village where
that home had been was in ashes. the
site of a battlefield. But as sooa rs he
was free he hurried to his native State
seeking tidings of wife and chill. rem.

She was changed: Those who knew the
worlan told Of her coquetry with u man

though not brave enough to wear the
blue, had come to the South In the Union
Army's van.
He was New Yorker. and finally he
had borne the migrate wife away to the

field.
When the husband heard this story he,
too, started North. Four years he
searched this city and this State over.
In one particular he disbelieved the
ta.e that he had heard South he could
not accept as true the assertion that his
wife had willingly wronged him; he be-
lieved that she had really thought him
deaf; nor would he put his faith in the
story that aught but q sacred marriage
ceremony had given her to this second
husband.
At the end OF four years his quest was
rewarded. And he found that the South
ern gessi2s had spoken truly. When he
ventured to seek her presence she spurn-
ed him.
This was fifteen years and more ago

And is there not, 0 weary soul,
Storm tossed with sorrow from thy birth,
A Home in Heaven, blessed Goal

having each purchased of the gentle
manly Statesmen OF the Wrought
Iron Range Co. of St. Louis, Mo,
one of their celebrated Home Com
fort Wrought Iron Cooking Rang
es, take great pleasure in recon-
mending them to our friends and
neighbors. After thorough test
we pronounce them a success, and
find them to I've as good in every
particular as represented by the
Statesmen. They are far more du-
rable-bake more uniformly with
less fuel--less danger as to fire
than any cook stove we have ever
seen or used At first We thought
them little high priced, but now
would not take twice the price paid
for them and be. without it. Besides
its good baking qualities, it affords
the greatest abundance of hot wat
er, which is great convenience.
Buy one and you will not regret the
purchase.
